Thank you @pocketgamerbiz.bsky.social for this article! ✨

I truly do believe that there's far more people on the side of inclusion than against it, and that gives me hope.

Testing Light Painter for the Blender 5.0 update. Only had one bug: new sky textures changed, including removal of Nishita sky texture (at least the name).

But it got me to appreciate new sky textures. Stunning. #b3d

Yup. The left controller isn't 100% any more. Easily fixed by turning it off & on again, usually only needed once per session, so not a huge deal. But still, it's not perfect, and that's reflected in the price.

This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican / Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.

Guillermo del Toro, Netflix, and Gobelins have teamed to open a stop-motion studio in Paris. The endeavor shares a kindred spirit with Mexico's El Taller del Chucho, also co-founded by del Toro, and will honor stop-motion legend Mark Gustafson.

Blender 4.4 introduces Slotted Actions. In a nutshell, slots make it possible to store the animation of multiple “things” in the same Action. What are Slotted Actions? In Blender 4.3, an Action was j...

With that in mind, copying a slot from one Action to another is less well-defined. Do you copy those layers and strips that animate that slot? What if they animate other slots as well, does that animation data get copied too? What happens with strips on the same layer, that don't animate that slot?

dr. Sybren @drsybren.bsky.social · 7d

The thing is, slots don't contain the animation data. They are just labels. In a future version of Blender you'll have multiple layers that can contain animation for a single slot. Or even strips on those layers, each animating the same (or different) slots.

This is for Blender add-on devs: the Action API that was deprecated in Blender 4.4 has been removed in 5.0.

Using action.fcurves / .groups / .id_root will NOT work in 5.0!
